If you could have been a player on any pro sports team that ever existed

3. Man tough one

An end on the Bears teams of the thirties, except that I would be living in the thirties which would suck.

A right fielder on the Giants when Mays came up. New York, the Copa, Harlem, me hitting behind Willie, but those wool pants, yikes.

A Left Wing on the Edmonton Oilers of the eighties. Setting up in the crease wating for a perfect pass from Wayne. Covering his ass. Seeing if I could take Probert. Lifting the Cup and knowing I was lucky to be on the same ice as 99, 11, 17, 77, et al.
And it would be the eighties so it wouldn't suck so bad.

4. early '70s Redskins

imagine being on a team with Sonny Jurgensen and Billy Kilmer (and some of the other characters). they were fierce competitors and rivals on the field, great friends and professional partiers off the field.

the team was suddenly competitive after many bad seasons and was toast of the town. would have been a great ride!

5. Me: Bill Russell's right hand man on the Celtics (I am a short female--

wouldn't it be fun?)Or I would like to have just been the one to bring fresh towels out and sit on the bench for psychiatric counselling for my "buds".

6. In other words

the role Jack Haley filled for the Jordan Bulls. The luckiest man in the history of sports.

7. Left-handed pitcher for the Detroit Tigers

Preferably on the 1968 World Champions, but any Tiger team (even the current one) would do.

Mickey Lolich belongs in the Hall of Fame. So do Alan Trammell and Lou Whitaker, for that matter.
